4.5 Confidence Feeds Our Attitude Apr 23, 2020

Show notes

When you recall your best days, and deconstruct the common threads, you can begin to architect more days with those common threads.

Walt Disney bought 160 acres (10x more than his original 16-acre Studio idea) for Disneyland but became landlocked. He bought 27,000 acres of alligator, snake, and mosquito-infested swampland in Orlando and proclaimed it would become the vacation capital of the world. Might as well had proclaimed he was building a city on the Moon - same impossibility, right?

3.8 Disney's Competitive Advantage Thesis Feb 27, 2020

Show notes

Disney outdistances their competition by over-focusing on the same things their competitors under-focus on or ignore. Disney is massively intentional where others are unintentional.

This over-focusing is transferable to personal life. Your biggest competitor is your current self. Who you are now competes with who you want to become.

3.7 High Standards & Risk Taking Feb 20, 2020

Show notes

If Disney ran your life, you'd be expected to take small risks all day, everyday. Risk taking is not a luxury. Not every risk pays off. You get credit for a win just for trying. Make risk taking a habit that becomes so comfortable you no longer realize you are always taking small daily risks.
